Investigation of Dry Horizontal Stirred Milling Applications for Cement Grinding Circuits

Abstract

Within the thesis study, possible applications of dry horizontal stirred mill were investigated for cement industry where fine grinding is prominent with regards to improved product quality. The main objectives of this work were to determine grinding problems, to study the effects of design and operating variables on grinding performance, to optimize the milling operation, to carry out modelling studies and then use these models in order to simulate different cement grinding circuit configurations where stirred mills were employed.
